I think I’m going to lower my protein. I’m paranoid that too much protein will kick me out of ketosis. As I understand it it shouldn’t be a problem if you have adequate fat together with the protein, but I’m doing it just to be sure.

Day 15 of keto. I will start to lower my protein cause I’m a bit worried I’m eating too much. Most people say too much protein is not an issue, but I’m lowering it just be sure. I aim for 60g protein a day divided in three meals.

Sounds like some good sensible goals…hope it’s going well for you!

I kind of miss carbs. I’m going to give this keto diet a shot though, it can take 4-12 weeks to become fat adapted. So I guess I will give it a shot for 12 weeks minimum, then if I feel worse or no different I’ll probably start eating carbs again.

I could go very long this morning without eating, maybe it’s a sign I’m starting to get fat adapted. We’ll see.

I have also felt very clear minded today.

So I ate some carbs today. Drank some coke and ate some oatmeal. I felt that fat never satisfied my hunger, no matter what I ate I got hungry a couple of hours later.

I’m not sure if I’m going to continue with keto. It’s tempting to go two months to see if I notice a difference when fully fat adapted. But I’m not sure.

Coke is far from keto. It will knock you out of ketosis straight away.

coke zero or similar, I presume?

Yeah I know it’s not keto. I wanted some carbs cause I feel like the fat never satisfies my hunger.

Hope your Keto adventures are going well :slight_smile:

IMHO, I think on the first couple of weeks of keto, you need to eat more than usual to feel full. Like really go to town.

Then after you find you can go for long periods without food then you can cut back if you want, but part of the diet is that you don’t have to go hungry, just eat until you are full.
